International Studies (ITS) at Miami University is a multidisciplinary major through which students can incorporate an international dimension and a foreign area of interest into their undergraduate education. The program in International Studies consists of 4 interrelated components:

a series of core courses covering international politics, economics and business, geography, anthropology, and diplomatic history

individually selected foreign areas of emphasis ('concentrations') in which students take a minimum of 12 hours in at least 3 different disciplines or fields

proficiency in a modern foreign language which provides important communication skills as well as additional depth in the chosen regional area of emphasis

International Studies

The International Studies program (ITS) is an interdisciplinary major in the Department of Global and Intercultural Studies in the College of Arts and Science. Students can earn a Bachelor's degree (BA) in International Studies. We believe that most global problems and issues are too complex to be understood through a single disciplinary perspective. Students learn about the world through a multiplicity of lenses. All of our students are expected to study abroad.
